I am not exactly sure if this is for math stackexchange or crypto:
A TRNG outputs numbers in $[0,1]$ in a Gaussian distribution. I would like to convert them into uniform random bytes ($[0,255] $) to ...

If I have a poor PRNG, could a cryptographically secure hash function make a better output?
Say the PRNG can produce as much numbers as you wish, reasonably random, but not good enough to be used in ...

How much more entropy gives a Hardware Random Number Generator or True Random Number Generator compared to a Pseudo Random Number Generator?
I know it depends on which TRNG is used, but I'm thinking ...

I need to establish some security on a network of 8 bit microcontrollers. very limited RAM, CPU and packet sizes.
I have zeroed in on a shared secret based scheme. Setting up shared secret is out of ...

I am using randomsound because I thought it would be a good idea to inject some additional entropy into the entropy pools of my linux machines (clearly those machines have a corresponding sound card).
...

I want to map a set of long integers (say around 100 different values) that can span the entire 64 bit integer range to a much smaller range such as from 0 to 25000 deterministically with almost zero ...

We know that in stream cipher algorithms plain text and generated key are Xored byte by byte. Generated key depends on how much plain text there is and on that basis key will generate and plain text ...

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but my friend and I were wondering if there was a good algorithm to exchange random coin flips to make some random decision between two untrusted parties without the ...

I'm studying for random number generators(RNG) and I saw about machine learning a few days ago.
So I searched analysis of RNG using machine learning.
But I couldn't find such fields.
Are there such ...

I was reading about the Blum-Blum-Shub random number generator, and its security depends on the hardness of factoring very large numbers (like many things in crypto do).
I'm just wondering, if I have ...

I recently developed a PRNG from scratch with a little inspiration from the initialization function used in the HC stream cipher. The state ($S$) of the basic version is an array of 5 bytes and uses ...

Considering that algorithmic methods for generating unpredictable streams are hard to come by, I've wondered if any of these potential sources are good for making keys, seeds, and the like:
stocks, ...

I'm using Crypto++ to implement my protocol to mask a value $y_i$ by a seudorandom value $r_i$ such that $m_i=y_i \cdot r_i$. Since there are many $r_i$'s I want to generate them using PRG and then ...

I've been looking into the difference between PRNGs and proper RNG techniques. One that I particularly like is the idea of tuning a radio to a certain frequency and bandwidth and just listening to the ...

I understand that by definition one-time-pad keys cannot be reused but I was thinking about the case where it is used to send random data and couldn't find anything on the subject so here is my idea:
...

I learnt that a Combined Linear Congruential Generator (cLCG) has better properties than a Linear Congruential Generator (LCG). For those who don't know what a cLCG is, here are three links that might ...

The RSA public key encryption requires two very large prime numbers as part of its encryption process that serve as secrets. These are typically generated with cryptographically secure random number ...

I would like to use a PRG in order to achieve the commitment properties (i.e. Hiding and Binding), however, if we look at a general PRG we cannot state that it has the Binding property.
First I show ...

I am actually looking for available crypto libraries including a deterministic random generator for the purpose of a dedicated crypto key generator unit.
I have a simple question about the X9.31 based ...

There are published techniques for cracking LCGs, but to my eye those techniques seem very brittle — very minor changes can add nonlinearity that renders techniques like the LLL algorithm unusable. ...

I am in need of a really simple limited PRNG, that either exists or can easily be created in virtually any language on any platform. It takes only the initial seed, and is only expected to generate a ...
